Enzyme Mouthwash: Increasing Protein Precipitation & pH
Question
Regarding the use of an Enzyme Mouthwash base (similar to Propolinse, 1:4 Concentrate), the current formula uses it at approximately 20%.
1. What percentage should be used to increase the amount of protein that precipitates out?
2. What pH is recommended for the formula?
Answer
Enzyme Mouthwash Usage
Regarding the Enzyme Mouthwash base (similar to Propolinse, 1:4 Concentrate), the recommended usage rate is to dilute it with water at a ratio of 1:4. This means the base is used at 20% of the final solution, which is the amount you are currently using.
The product description specifically advises not to adjust the pH or add ingredients that affect the pH of the formula. This suggests that the base is formulated to work optimally at its inherent pH after dilution according to the recommended ratio.
Based on the available information, the recommended way to use this product is at the 20% dilution rate without adjusting the pH. The product description does not provide guidance on using a higher percentage or how it would affect protein precipitation.
